]. E, Mcdonald has named the
King Ban Radiant colt Jim Reese,
after our own "Capt. JIM" He is en-.
tered in the Lawyers stake, and
should be start and not be one-two the
home talent will wear winter clothes
all next summer.
The New Orleans meeting ends a
week before Memphis begins. This
will throw about 100 horses, in addi-
ton to those already here, on our
track for two weeks. These, with the
addition of the bookmakers aud rae
ing followers, will make business rush
ing-for the hotels especially.
The carpenters have already laid the
foundations for 100 new stalls at the
track. These stables will be reserved
for Capt. Sam Blown, t. II. Stevens,
Green Morris, r. Tucker, r. ]. Lucas
and others whe have entries in the
stakes, and are to arrive later on. Dan
Honig will have his horses hero to.
morrow or next day. Among the fif.
teen he will bring is Mamie Hunt,
who was very near the best FLY out
last fall.
On bright sunshiny day, such as
yestsrday, anyone visiting the track
can see many noted horses being exer-
cised, such as Sir Joseph, Grimsldi,
Modesty, Freelsnd, Free Knight, Jim
Gray, Elkwood, Bootblsck and many
others. Should today prove fair day
there will be hundreds of visitors,
who will have an opportunity OF see
ing these noted flyers in their winter
qua tiers, as the regular training sea-
son will not begin before the coming
week. The clubhouse will be open
all day for the entertainment of visit
ors to the track.
The entries to stakes show a falling
of at Chicago, ST. Louis, Louisville
and Lexington-notsbly at Lexing-
ton, while Memphis and Nashville
show an increase OF from % to 40 per
cent. This, in the face OF Gen. Rob-
inson's widely published interview,
threatening destruction to the two
latter clubs should they withdraw
from the Association, proves the wis
dom Of their act in 80 doing and
should be proof conclusive that il
horsemen cannot be encouraged 10
race at place they surely cannot be
inundated into doing 30.
The Sporting World, Of January 28,h,
has the following: The utter failure
of the 30 called $4,000 affair of the
Louisville Jockey Club, the Kentucky
stakes, does not come unexpected.
The person or persons who opened it
announced that the event would not
come off il it failed to secure 800 en-
tries. 1t got about half that number.
As every racing man said when the
stake was announced, it YVES a piece of
unmitigated "galP to ask horsemen to
race for their osn money, without ad-
ded moDeyfrom the club, particularly in
these days, when all the leading clubs
are competing as to which will ha &
up most. As will be seen by dis
patch in our news columns the man age
ment now asks for another mon h to
drum up entries. This is pilifpl. Tee
next step, l suppose, will be TO pass
around the hat for the maintenance of
the Louisville Jockey Club.
